change dev file instance number

hello everyone,i was wondering if it is possible to change the instance numbers of devices such as the tape, disk or NIC. I have a tape installed on an rx7640 server with the device file /dev/rmt/4m, /dev/rtape/tape5 and i want to change it to /dev/rmt/0m. Any suggestions would be of great value, thank you

Re: change dev file instance number

YUes. You delete the current tape device with rmsf -a /dev/rmt/whatever (both 4m, 5m and 0m) or use: rmsh -H . The you use insf -I # -H . Tapes are easy. Disks are quite involved and time consuming (and risky for a lot of downtime).
